Attention:
All cases must be decapped before
swaging. Most foreign military brass is
Berdan primed and can not be deprimed
with this product. Look inside the case, it
must have one central flash hole.
Berdan
223 / 5.56 NATO users:
Your kit includes a decapping die
fitted with our decapping and
flaring rod. If you are swaging 223
/ 5.56 NATO cases, you must use
this die. The slight flare provides
easy entry of the swage punch into
the case mouth. The tapered flare
punch also rounds the necks that
may have been driven over by a
tank or HUMVEE. Some crimped in
primers are very dicult to remove
and may slide the decapper upward.
If this happens, tap the decapper flush with
the top of the hex clamp. Securely tighten
with a 3/4” wrench on the die body and ”
wrench on the decapper clamp.

4Do not install o-ring if using X-PRESS shell holders. If using
a universal press shell holder, install O-ring to prevent shell
holder rotation. The X-PRESS shell holders need to be able to float/
rotate to allow damaged or out of round rims to pass through without
interference.
Install spring

Lower the press lever and
screw the swage push
punch in until it meets the
small or large swaging punch.
4Place a case that you wish to swage in the shell holder. Lower the press lever, notice that the connecting link will not meet the stops
on the upper casting (PHOTO 1 & 2). Release the pressure on the press lever and unscrew the push rod in ¼ turn increments, apply
approximately 25 pounds of pressure on the lever of the press and observe if the connecting link meets the stop (PHOTO 2). Continue to
unscrew the swage push punch in ¼ turn increments until the connecting links meet the stop with 25 pounds of pressure applied to the lever.
When you have it set, lower the lever, and tighten the knurled lock nut.

The best way to determine if you have sucient swage on the primer pocket is to try seating a primer. If the primer starts and seats properly you
have sucient swage. As the tool is designed, it is impossible to swage excessively.
If you misadjust the push punch too deeply, the only consequence is the press lever will be very dicult to push to the stops. Adjusting to apply
the least amount of swage to allow easy seating of primers will make the tool more pleasant to use.
